The Feb. 15 Denver Post ran an article entitled “Homeland Security aims to buy 1.6 billion rounds of ammo.” This article details that some of the ammo is for hollow-point bullets, forbidden by international law for use in war. The DHS was designed to provide “homeland security,” not to fight foreign wars. The DHS is also showing off its acquisition of heavily armored personnel carriers, repatriated form the Iraqi and Afghani theaters of operations. These vehicles are being seen on U.S. streets across America by verified observers with photos, videos and descriptions. Also the DHS is in the process of purchasing 7,000 fully automatic rifles.

Another shocking purchase by the DHS recently made is $2 million worth of a line of “No More Hesitation” targets. These targets depict images of a pregnant woman, an older man with a shotgun, an older woman with a gun, a young school-aged girl, a young mother on a playground and a little boy with a real gun. According to the supplier, these targets are “designed to give officers the experience of dealing with deadly force shooting scenarios with subjects that are not the norm during training.” The targets are “meant to help the transition for officers who are faced with these highly unusual targets for the first time.”

At the same time, the federal government is eagerly trying to pass legislation to disarm American citizens. Registration is the first step toward confiscation. Wake up, America, before it”s too late.
